PROTESTANT HOME RULERS,

Not the least important factor in the
gallant struggle for Home Rule is the
patriotic attitude of the Liberal Presby-
terians of the North Of Ireland The
number of Irish Presbyterlans who
have espoused the cause of self-goyern-
ment for Ireland is far larger than
many would at first thought suppose.
From the opinions they have expressed
publicly we incline to the belief that at
the required time they will throw in
their fortunes wholely with Mr.. Glad
stone. Before the split in the ranks of
the Liberal party these men were
among the most devoted followers Of
the ex-premier. At the last election
they can be said to have either abb
stained from voting, or, in few cases
for various reasons, voted with the
Orange faction. But now they realize
that it. is not the desire Of any section
of the Home Rulers to completely sever
the tie that binds England and Ireland

A DYNAMITE SCARE.

One cannot but abhor the tactics the
Tories are pursuing i'll order to show
that there is some cause for the en-
forcement of the iniquitous Crimes
Act. The latest effort in this direction
was the attempt to blow up the West
Glare railway bridge, near Ennis, last
Tuesday. 1t is almost unnecessary to
state that this act is attributed to Irish
men, and we may therefore expect to
hear of extra vigilance being taken in
the immediate Deighborhood of the
place where the explosion was at
tempted. 10 make it appear that this
was the work Of an Irish-American. sew
eral cartridges, not exploded, of an
American stripe we're left lying around
loose. It is about time the Tories
should comprehend the fact that in
these days Of enlightenment people can
not be deceived by such shallow
schemes. We presume that throughout
England very few intelligent persons,
who, if they were to express themselves
candidly, would say that a true Irish
men had anything to do with it. In
Ireland. where the methods Of Tories
are best known, nobody takes any stock
in this latest attempt to bring Irishmen
into lll.repute, in order to further the
designs OF brutal tricksters.

sense of uneasiness and the indignation
which such acts are calculated to Gre
ate in this country will be her security.
Mooney says he did not wish to destroy
life-he only wanted to ''scare" people
from patronizing English ships. But
neither Mooney nor any one else has a
right to create scare of that kind in
this country. Such scares, moreover,
are not confined merely to those passen-
gers and their personal friends. but they
affect all persons who mediate cross
ing the water at some time, and there
fore they concern the whole country,
and the country cannot and will not
listen to any argument advanced to
justify or palliate such crime. There
is implanted in the human breast, CO.

tion, an instinct that would conserve
society. The man who is devoid Of the

bis right mind, and that is the chari-
table view to take Of this poor crank.

MONEYS REVENGE.

The irish World of last week thus
exposes the idiocy Of Mooney, Who, it
is alleged, attempted to burn up the
steamship 'Queen" of the National

pool:
The act Of Mooney, who threw ig-
hitting fluid on the English steamer
Queen, could have been conceived and
attempted only by a madman. Moone.
is an Irishman. II his purpose was to
strike blow at the English interests
in America in retaliation for English
ill treatment of ireland his purpose was
none the less unwlse and reprehensible.
This country should not be made d
base of operations to fight the battles of
other countries. Ireland herself, if free
tomorrow, would not allow men of
other countries to abuse her hospitality
to complicate her relations with friendly
governments. Mooney says, however,
he did this thing as patriotic Ameri-
CAM and in revenge for outrages perpe-
trated on American ships in British
American waters. Evidently the 'spro-
clamation of war; is MONEYS work.
But to declare war on behalf of the
United States is the prerogative of the
United States Congress, and not of Mr..
Mooney. To attempt the destruction
of ships, even though the material and
make of those ships be English, and N
the undertaking to jeoDardize the lives
of passengers, majority Of whom are
American citizens, is hardly the way to
fight England. That style of warfare

BRITAIN's GRATITUDE TO HEROES.


1t is a fact scarcely worth repeating
that the life of British soldier is any
| fact that if British soldier suffers the
loss of 4 limb while defending his coun-
try he is very poorly remunerated for
the same. An exchange gives an illus
tration OF Britain s ingratitude to he
roes which is we'll worth perusal. AT
Rorke's Drift in 1879, when the British
Government was numbering and rob-
bing the natives of South Africa, a
young Scotch soldier named William
Roy distinguished himself by his he
roic actions. He was in the hospital
suffering from fearful wounds received
in battle. The building took fire, Boy
broke through the wall, and under the
enemy's fire succeeded in rescuing eight
of his comrades who were unable TO
move. In recognition of his bravery he
was awarded two medals, and these
with Protestant bible (not a cheeky

were presented to him at Windsor by
Her Majesty in person in December,
1879. The Graphic, Of the Goth of De-
cember, 1879, contained a pictorial re-
presentation OF The ceremony. Where
is that young and gallant warrior
now?
